<H3>New and Noteworthy App Entries</H3>
<H4>Blindfold Doggy (iOS, Free With In-App Purchases)</H4>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Blindfold Doggy is a fully accessible dog ownership simulation game,
for
both sighted and visually impaired people, designed for rapid audio play.
The
object of the game is care for your dog: the better you care for your dog,
the
more points you'll score.</P>
<P>After learning the sounds your dog makes when he needs something, you
must
take care of your dog: feed him, walk him, give him water, brush him and
play
with him.</P>
<P>For example, to walk your dog, put on his collar and leash, open the
door
and start walking: swipe down with one finger. Each down swipe takes you
one
step further from home. Each up swipe takes you one step closer to home.
When
you leave the house for a walk, the front door automatically closes behind
you. To go back inside, walk back to the door and open it. Make sure you
close
the door, or your dog may run away.</P>
<P>Once you've mastered taking care of one dog, try taking care of two.
It's
much harder!</P>
<P>Then try the adventure game - go shopping for new toys and food, and
take
your dog to the veterinarian for routine checkups.</P>
<P>The game comes with limited play before you run out of food. To get
unlimited play, or other options, use the in-app
upgrades.</P></BLOCKQUOTE>

<H4>Getting It Done with a Shortcut in iOS 12</H4>
<P>By Paul Martz | October 27, 2018</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>I bet my spouse is starting to wonder why I'm sending her so many text
messages. I'm testing my new shortcut, of course. No, I didn't create a
shortcut to annoy my spouse. She likes to track our spending, and my new
shortcut tells her what I've been purchasing.</P>
<P>This blog gets you started with a drop-dead simple shortcut, and then
describes the shortcuts I created to help track my spending. But
first—</P>
<H5>What is a Shortcut?</H5>
<P>The <A
href="https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/productivity/shortcuts">Shortcuts</A>
app, formerly called Workflows, lets you specify one or more actions,
called
shortcuts, that you launch with SIRI or by selecting a desktop icon. If
you've
used Automator on MacOS, Shortcuts will be familiar to you.</P>
<P>For information on the Shortcuts app, take a look at Thomas Domville's
podcast series, How to Use SIRI Shortcuts in iOS</P>

<P>Shortcuts and SIRI Shortcuts are two different things. A shortcut is a
set
of actions created with the Shortcuts app. A SIRI Shortcut performs some
task
using SIRI. This blog discusses how to create shortcuts with the Shortcut
app,
and then how to launch it with a SIRI Shortcut. Confused? Sorry. I didn't
decide on the naming scheme.</P></BLOCKQUOTE>

<H4>Introducing Club AppleVis; Offering Members and Friends of our Community
a
Means of Directly Supporting the Work of AppleVis</H4>
<P>By AppleVis | October 18, 2018</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>We are thrilled to announce the launch of Club AppleVis. Club AppleVis
offers members and friends of our community a means of directly
contributing
towards the financial costs of operating AppleVis—thus ensuring that we
can
continue to deliver the information, help, and support that so many people
have come to value and rely on over the past 8 years.</P>
<P>In part, the launch of Club AppleVis is a response to <A
href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/1/17641388/apple-itunes-affiliate-program-removing-apps-toucharcade">Apple's
decision to remove apps from its affiliate program from October 1,
2018</A>.
For the unfamiliar, this affiliate program enabled online content
publishers
to use a referral link when linking to apps in the App Store. If people
followed one of these links, a small percentage of any resulting sale was
paid
by Apple to the originating website as a commission.</P>
<P>We used referral links on AppleVis; not because we have wages to pay
(all
of those involved with running AppleVis do so on a voluntary basis and
receive
no financial recompense for their time), but because there are financial
costs
from maintaining and developing AppleVis for the community. The small
amount
of revenue generated by these links helped to cover those costs.</P>
<P>We want to stress that the changes to Apple's affiliate program should
not
bring into question the continued existence of AppleVis. However, as we
receive no external funding or sponsorship, the reality is that these
changes
will make it harder to cover the operational costs. This is why we are
asking
the community to please consider helping by becoming a member of Club
AppleVis.</P>
<P>The biggest reward from being a Club AppleVis member is that you will
be
directly helping to make AppleVis possible. However, as a “thank you”, we
offer a number of perks to Club AppleVis members:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Each year, we offer one Club AppleVis member the opportunity to take
part in one of our roundtable podcasts. More details will be announced
on
how this will work further down the road.
<LI>Club AppleVis members have access to an RSS feed containing all of
the
episodes in our podcast archive, enabling them to browse and play these
in
their podcatcher of choice. Note that our main podcast feed includes
only
the 100 most recent episodes, with the remainder accessible via the
website.
<LI>With the support of the developers and companies we have come to
know
through running AppleVis, we will occasionally offer discounts or
giveaways
to Club AppleVis members.
<LI>Club AppleVis members also have a badge added to their AppleVis user
account that recognizes their membership of Club AppleVis and links to
the
Club AppleVis page. If you do not want this badge added to your account,
please just let us know. </LI></UL>
<P>It is possible that we may offer additional perks to Club AppleVis
members
as ideas and opportunities present themselves. However, what we will not
be
doing is making some content only available to Club AppleVis members, as
we
believe this would be against the spirit of AppleVis and everything our
community strives to offer.</P>
<P>If you are an app developer or behind a product or service that would
be of
interest and value to Club AppleVis members, please consider partnering
with
us to offer a discount or giveaway. Use our <A
href="https://www.applevis.com/contact-us">contact form</A> to reach out
and
let us know what you have in mind.</P>
<H5>How to Join Club AppleVis</H5>
<P>To qualify for Club AppleVis membership, you will need to have
either:</P>
<OL>
<LI>An active recurring donation towards AppleVis of at least US$1.99
per
month; or
<LI>Have made a single donation of at least US$25 in the past 12 months.
</LI></OL>
<P>If you find value in the work that AppleVis does, and if you have the
means, we would greatly appreciate it if you would please consider
becoming a
Club AppleVis member. To reiterate, any and all donations received go
directly
towards the various costs associated with operating the AppleVis website;
our
site editors receive no financial compensation for their work with
AppleVis.</P>
<P>If you are ready to join Club AppleVis, you can <A
href="https://www.applevis.com/club-applevis">use one of the forms on this
page to set up either a recurring micro-donation or make a one-off
donation</A>. These donations are processed securely via PayPal.</P>
<P>You can also use these forms if you wish to make a donation that's
smaller
than is required for Club AppleVis membership. You will have our sincerest
thanks, as all donations make a difference and are truly appreciated,
irrespective of the amount.</P>
<P>If you already make a recurring micro-donation towards AppleVis or have
made a one-off donation of $25 or more in the past year, you will
automatically be made a Club AppleVis member. If you have any questions
about
this, <A href="https://www.applevis.com/contact-us">please contact
us</A>.</P>
<P>Thank you for your interest in learning how you can help to cover the
financial costs of maintaining and developing AppleVis for the community.
It
is only with your help that everything AppleVis strives to offer is
possible.</P></BLOCKQUOTE>

<H4>Apple Watch Series 4 Review: More Screen and Power Should Make This the
Apple Watch Blind Users Have Been Waiting For</H4>
<P>By David Goodwin | October 11, 2018</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Traditionally, it's any new iPhones which are the highlight of Apple's
fall
product launches. However, for this year's <A
href="https://www.applevis.com/blog/apple-apple-watch-iphone-news/rounding-gather-round-keynote">“Gather
Round” event</A>, it was the Apple Watch Series 4 which was the star of
the
show for me. It was in my opinion the most ground-breaking in terms of
product
evolution; and, whereas I was somewhat underwhelmed by the three new
iPhones,
the Apple Watch had me impressed and perhaps even a little excited.</P>
<P>That was a somewhat surprising reaction, as I am not an Apple Watch
devotee. I've previously owned what's now referred to as the Apple Watch
Series 0. I didn't particularly enjoy the experience; found no compelling
apps
or functionality for my use case; and can honestly say that I had not
missed
an Apple Watch in the two years since I last used one.</P>
<P>Reflecting on my reaction to the launch event and knowing that there
are
many in our community who rave about their Apple Watch, made me think that
maybe it was time to give it a second chance.</P>
<P>After two weeks living with a 44mm Series 4, I am happy to report that
I
have not been disappointed by that decision. Not only have I found that
the
Apple Watch now has something to offer me, but I have enjoyed the
experience
of using it. Of course, it helps that Apple Watch Series 4 is quite a
different beast to the model I last used - the design has been refined;
the
performance much improved; the health and fitness tracking capabilities
expanded; and features and apps have become more mature and focused.</P>
<P>With <A
href="https://www.applevis.com/blog/iphone-news-opinion-reviews/iphone-xs-max-some-early-thoughts-week-apples-new-65-inch-flagship">the
iPhone XS Max I have also been using for the past two weeks</A>, I have
struggled to find any significant advantages of its large display for me
as
somebody who relies completely on VoiceOver. The same is definitely not
true
for Apple Watch Series 4. The benefits of its extra screen real estate -
30%
greater than on previous models - were immediate and dramatic. Combine
this
with its more powerful S4 chip and better speakers, and the experience of
using VoiceOver on the Series 4 doesn't fall too far short of VoiceOver on
an
iPhone.</P></BLOCKQUOTE>
